VRYCFG CFGTYPE(*CTL) STATUS(*OFF) results in CPA2611 (C G)

I have a CL program that varies off anywhere between 10 and 24 controllers.
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(ABC) CFGTYPE(*CTL) STATUS(*OFF) sometimes results in:

Message ID . . . . . . : CPA2611 Severity . . . . . . . : 99
Message . . . . : Controller ABC cannot be varied off at this time. (C G)
Cause . . . . . : There are jobs in the network that are currently using
controller ABC.
Recovery . . . : Use the Work with Configuration Status (WRKCFGSTS) command
to determine which jobs are associated with controller ABC. For
information about jobs associated with controller ABC, use the Display
APPN Information (DSPAPPNINF) command or the Work with APPN Status
(WRKAPPNSTS) command.
Type G to vary off controller ABC with active jobs.
Type C to either wait for the jobs to complete before you try to vary the
controller off again or end the jobs yourself and vary off the controller.

This message can't be monitored and there are no other messages issued with this. Is there a way to handle this programmatically? Is there an alternative interface to VRYCFG that handles this?
